No problem Lofty - its a totally stupid situation, as these people could simply put the house on the market, sell it and split the proceeds - my partner would want that, but his wife is determined to keep the house at any cost, and I suspect her next threat will be to stop paying the mortgage, but basically if she does that, he can't pay it on �150 a month earnings, so it would soon be repossessed and I just wanted to be reassured that the remainder - which would probably be a reasonable sum - will be split according to the Court's decision between the two of them. By the time they finish fighting, looks like there won't be much left anyway! Aren't people stupid?
Good luck with your own situation.
